You created this animated opening title in a movie earlier in this lesson.…Well, it's okay but we can make it a lot fancier and that's what I would like to…show you in this Idea Corner.…Now, what I am already doing is using a null object to move all the title…elements as a group from their initial position off into this corner.…Since I'm done with that particular movement,…I don't have a need to see that null object anymore,…I am going to turn off the video switch for the null.…Null objects don't render any way. They don't give you a render time hit.…
They will never appear on the screen. It's just a matter of reducing clutter at our display.…Next, I don't like everyone being on at the same time because I'm forcing the…viewer to process all this visual information at the same time.…To lead them from one item to the next, I might stagger their appearance.…For example, I might decide that I do indeed want my station number and my bug…to be on from the very beginning of the composition. That's fine.…
